 The
quaint village of Oberammergau is world famous for its spectacular
Passion Play, performed by the locals just once a decade.
In
1634 the Black Death decimated Europe’s population. Oberammergau
remained untouched until a homesick villager returned one night,
unknowingly bringing with him the dreaded plague. Almost 100 villagers
died as a result.
Frightened survivors vowed that if God saved
them from the plague, once every 10 years they would reenact the agony
and crucifixion of Christ. From then on there were no further deaths
from the plague—and the villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever
since.
Globus invites you to experience this legendary event on one of the special vacations being offered in 2010.

ABOUT OBERAMMERGAU IN 2010
The play portrays the Passion of Christ—from the entry into
Jerusalem to the Resurrection. Performances are held in the afternoon
and evening with an included dinner break in between. The play usually
consists of more than 2,000 actors, singers, musicians, and technicians
with rehearsals starting at least a year before the event.

scenery. A covered auditorium has almost 5,000 seats.
